Huge congratulations to @JulzeAlejandre for passing his PhD viva on #BlueGreenPrescribing!! Many thanks to examiners Prof @Dr_CA_Wallace and Prof Helen Mason @YunusCentreGCU
Has anyone got any information on the ecotoxicity of semaglutide, since there is talk of prescribing it to millions of people?
Interesting but sad socio-cultural consequence of #pharmaceuticalpollution theguardian.com/world/articl…

I know that there's lots of great research going on. Let's get it in this Themed Collection about how more sustainable medicines use can help patients and the planet. Deadline end of October 2024.
This is great news! 🌍
Our sister journal, The International Journal of Pharmacy Practice, is also calling for submissions for a Themed Collection on 'The Climate, Nature, and Pollution Crises' guest edited by @SharonPfleger.

We finally have a scientific health check for the entire planet! 6 of 9 planetary boundaries currently transgressed. This does not mean irreversible collapse, but we are losing resilience. We are putting the stability of the entire earth system at risk.
All #PlanetaryBoundaries mapped out, six of nine crossed: For the first time, a team of scientists is able to provide a full picture of planetary resilience. Pressure in all those boundary processes is increasing, newly published research shows: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…
ALT Six of nine planetary boundaries are currently transgressed. The length of the wedges symbolizes what the current state of the corresponding process is, in relation to the distance from the planetary boundary (end of the green area) and the Holocene baseline (origin of the diagram). The color symbolizes the risks associated with each. For example, a wedge may be very long because the current state is already very far from the planetary boundary and the Holocene. But it may still not be purple, because that is not yet associated with very high risks in this particular case. In other cases already a "small" overshoot (short wedge) results in a big risk: Then the color further inside already changes to purple.
